I have a second cousin who will turn 36 this month. She suffered a massive stroke last year. Thank God, she is doing well and recently was able to return to work. She has never been involved with drugs, so lifestyle had nothing to do with her stroke.

Luke Perry was 52. Much, much too young to die.

So sorry to hear that. I read that he had a massive stroke, and that they were keeping him sedated. Prayers for his family.

Hey Josh, I have been been using Pro-Tekt with my Foliage Pro all winter and i can say that my plants have definately been happier than in the past... When i take my rain water and place it in my watering cans, i add the Pro Tekt first to all of the water and then stir it in. (1/4 tsp per gallon) Then i go back and add my Foliage Pro to the water. I keep it upstairs and let it warm to room temperature and then water. The combination of the two will definately help your plants and im so happy to have found my Pro Tekt. My Hydroponics dealer had to order it for me. I still can't find or he wont (says he cant..) order it for me. He looked it up and says its not available. Hmm? I still order my Foliage Pro from Ebay. They have free shipping anyway. Have fun with your Pro Tekt!!! Hope you are feeling better!!! Happy Spring AL!!! Take Care, Laura

Lux -- "Jesse Hildreth" and "Honeymoon Cottage Hidden Garden Purple" weren't dropped from commerce. They've not been IN commerce. Both are NoCal discoveries -- the former from a cemetery. The latter from a vacant lot where, clearly, there was once a garden. The truth is, there just aren't enough nurseries to take into commerce all of the really great Found Roses. (Tho Vintage offers some Found Roses, and a few other adventurous nurseries do.) I think that's where sales of rare roses are important. Some Found Roses are sold each fall at the San Jose Heritage Rose Garden's Open Garden; Many are distributed at Sacramento City Cemetery events; Some are distributed when groups such as the California Coastal or Ventura Co. Rose Societies have sales. And some are "passalongs." I'm glad that, probably, we will have 4-5 "Jesse Hildreth" in a few months. I hope the Heritage can come up with a few of "Honeymoon Cottage Hidden Garden Purple." Jeri

These stories are terrific. I'm so enjoying them & am glad you're sending them to the forum, not only to keep us abreast and for our entertainment, but so you've got a record with fresh details of your journey. All the little events that make the ride so special would be lost down the memory hole if you'd tried to recall them after the trip. Life is more colorful in Louisiana, isn't it? People there will interact with total strangers -- it's great. I'm praying for good weather & safety for y'all.

Who has the best pet names?

One Spring, a friend got an Irish setter and named her April May. My daughter always named our pets. We had a poodle she named Spiro Agnew, but later changed it to Spooky. Then we had a husky-spitz she named Rachael and a hamster around the same time was named Jamie. If anyone remembers the soap opera "Another World", Rachael and Jamie were mother/son characters on that show. Parakeets were Sugar and Spice. A turtle was named "Yurtle" (as in a Dr. Seuss book).

He was admitted for "observation". Days later it was reported he had a stroke, they may have said "mild". Now we hear he had a MASSIVE stroke and died from the complications there of. Did they pull the plug after a week of laying around and family not ready to give up? I totally respect he/they deserved their privacy but it is frustrating that "a little information is a bad thing". I also am not a fan of speculation but if there is a reason due to lifestyle for such and young man to have strokes I would like it known to warn others. Maybe he just had the bad luck of poor biology. It is very sad.

So sad to hear this news. Riverdale is filmed here and the tv industry isn't all that big here. This will be tough for his family and for those that worked with him.

It was on local news here when he was admitted for the stroke, but I had no idea that it was that bad. So sad to hear this news. It is not uncommon for people who are 50 to have strokes, but perhaps less common to die from them at that age.
